Thanks for the updates! I'm sorry your still on the rollercoaster, but I'm glad Miles and Scott are doing what their supposed to. I hope you can all hang in there for a few more weeks. Still thinking about you a lot and sending you lots of good thoughts and prayers.
Keep it up, little fighters! Hoping R's boss marches him straight to the nearest airport! Good luck with the new faces today (the NICU reps and your counselor). Hopefully they'll be another blessing for you guys.

Yay for getting a therapist! And for a bit of positive news. Seriously, kudos for requesting the therapist. I can't imagine what you are going through. Pregnancy in general is such a mental game but when your risk increases it becomes even more so. I hope that they send you a great therapist and I really, really hope that it helps you. We are all here rooting for you guys!
Glad to see a good update. It's great that you advocated for yourself to see a therapist. You're doing a great job for yourself, your babies, your daughter, and your husband. I'll think of you every time I force myself to drink my water today.
I'm sorry for all of this you're going through; there's a whole community in your corner rooting and praying for you guys. Thoughts and prayers with you all.

I'm glad to see an update, and that Miles has replenished some of his fluid. I'm so sorry things are so up and down. We're all thinking about you and rooting for you and for the boys!

Thinking of you and the boys and sending up prayers for safety and health for all of you. My first ever patient in postpartum had oligohydramnios and I'll never forget her or her family. She had a beautiful singleton about 26 weeks after being admitted at 18 weeks. I know it's not the same situation, but it makes me really hopeful for you and the boys! I hope R is able to come and be with you soon.
I'm so sorry you're on this crazy rollercoaster. I'm glad there is some good news - Miles is replenishing his fluid levels. I'm still praying for you that the rest of the weeks to viability the most you have to worry about is what show to watch on Netflix. I really hope things turn around and you're only taking steps forward from here on out.
Thank you all. I just heard from R, he wasn't able to get a flight until Saturday morning, but at least it's not Sunday night. He'll be home around 5:30 on Saturday. The travel agency at his work just charged it to the company account and made it happen. I'm so glad he's going to be home early.

Yay! Sometimes just being around husbands make things better
That's so great of his company. I know you guys were worried about the cost, so it must be such a relief to get him home earlier and know they're looking out for you, too

Praying for health and no infection for you. Praying for physical strength and growth for the babies. Praying for wisdom and guidance for the doctors treating you. Praying for peace and serenity for you and R. Praying for blessings of an uneventful 7 weeks for all 4 of you. We love you girpipley. Hang in there hun! You're doing great!
Thinking of you and your boys. Everyone at yoga practice this morning dedicated their session to you and your family- many positive vibes are headed your way. You've got a whole world behind you. xoxo

I'm sorry to hear this update, but you and your boys are getting lots of T&P from our group. Miles, you just need to hang tight for a while longer buddy! I'm glad at least your husband is getting an earlier flight home. He needs to be with you. Many creepy internet hugs for you girl!
Good morning, thank you all for your words and advice. I called R last night and he is going to speak with his boss today. He's only been with this company for a year, so we don't want to jeopardize anything there. It's a global satellite company, and this is the only time during the year that every employee is in the same spot. It's just a really shitty time for this trip.
I had my sono this morning, and spoke with the Dr. Miles sac is up to 2.1, which is still super low, but higher than yesterday, so progress.
She said the drop from 3.4 to 1.3 is their key to assume I am officially ruptured, not just a small leak at this point. I've had some fluid leaking since last night, but just when I stand up to go pee.
They are starting me on antibiotics every 6/8 (can't remember) hours, and said I can also try collagen powder/pills (can't hurt). R will pick some up and they can write it in my orders.
At this point, the biggest concern is infection. If I can make it to 22-23 weeks with out infection, they will start steroids, because both babies are already practicing breathing, which I guess is one of the things they would look for before starting steroids. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong, I just got a ton of information)
Someone from the NICU is going to come up in the next few days and explain some things to me. I'm overwhelmed by this, but I'm happy, because I'm telling myself it means my dr thinks I might hang in there a few more weeks.
I'm having some contractions, but nothing organized, and I've been able to stop them with water and laying on my side. My Dr. said they won't stop labor at any point from here on out (something about labor most likely starting because of an infection).
I'm tired, emotionally, so tired. I feel like we take two steps forward and one back, but as long as that doesn't flip, I'm hanging on to some hope.
They are sending a therapist and psychologist to me today, per my request. I think this should be mandatory for everyone on this floor.
Thank you all for keeping us in your thoughts. Ily.
I really hope R's boss will automatically send him home. I would be shocked if he/she refused. Hopefully he will be back with you soon.
I can only imagine how emotionally tired you must be. Good for you for asking for a therapist, let us know how it goes.
The situation you find yourself in isn't great. I haven't looked in to any numbers, but I'd be willing to bet there aren't usually good prognoses. (And I'm going waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy back to your first hospital visit for issues, not necessarily where you are today) And yet, your babies are continuing to grow and thrive. They are defying any odds against them. This is phenomenal and I think this is why the health care professionals are already planning for NICU and a potential later delivery. If anyone can pull through it, its you, Miles and Scott.
I'm glad Robert is getting home sooner, even if it's not today. Just knowing he's "on his way" is probably one less thing you have to worry about.
Congratulations on the increase in fluids today and keep up the amazing work you are doing at growing those babies.

How wonderful that his company did that! It's great he's getting home a day sooner than expected. I glad there was an increase in fluids! Keep growing little boys! Truck on for a few more weeks!
You are such an incredible mama to these boys! So many good thoughts headed your way as always and am so impressed how much of a fighter little Miles truly is.
